Why hire Suddenly Sideways?
The Asheville band Suddenly Sideways can play gigs up to four hours long and brings an original mix of rock, blues, funk, jam band psychedelic style. They perform many originals and covers including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, James Gang, ZZ Top, The Pretenders and more.
The band consists of four members including 3 vocalists with a female vocalist, bass guitar, two guitarists and drums.
Suddenly Sideways is a solid show every time! I love how they play a wide variety of genres and when they played Studio One it was no exception. They can play from mellow to ragin' sometimes in the same track. The band is comprised of some great Ashvillian musicians and I'm proud to know them and have them as friends. Jesse has supported Studio One since our opening and is a strong advocate and freedom fighter for the local music scene. I'd be happy to have Suddenly Sideways play any time.
